Christian Zetzsche

Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

One more hand was happening on the live-streamed feature table at the end of the level.

Five ways limped to a flop of J♠8♠5♥, Adolf Buettner bet 150,000 with 9♥7♠6♠4♣ for a wrap and flush draw in the cutoff. Oswin Ziegelbecker called with the A♠9♣8♥4♠ and Samuel Albeck did so from under the gun with A♦J♦9♦7♣.

Albeck opted to shove for 1,380,000 and Buettner asked for a count to then let go.

Ziegelbecker called after short consideration with his inferior two pair and nut flush draw. The J♥ river improved Albeck further to jacks full of aces and he doubled.
